Petition Action

Hold a 2nd EU Referendum that includes the 16-17 year old population.

Petition Details

The EU referendum result was not representative enough of the population as a whole as 16-17 year olds were not included in the vote. Given that they participated in the Scottish referendum, it is evident that they have the capabilities and confidence to vote and therefore should have been included.

Additional Information

There are nearly 1.5 million 16-17 year old UK citizens. Their inclusion could have had a significant impact on the results.
